High-pitched whine...

I have a new 2013 Cadillac XTS with 1800 miles on it. I LOVE it, but now I have a concern -- while driving it today down a well-paved road, I noticed for the first time a subtle, high-pitched whine, but couldn't ascertain where it was coming from... engine? Tires? What?
Any ideas, friends?? Please don't tell me something's wrong with my car already!... I can stand the whine if I know it's nothing to be concerned about.... Thank you!

Not sure if your problem every resolved itself but I just dealt with something similar. Turned out to be a leak in the rear axle seal. Good luck!
